Welcome to the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki sandbox!
This page exists so that you can practice editing or formatting (see Help:Editing) without changing any serious content. Feel free to try wiki editing out here first.
There is a tutorial on the Central (coordinating) Wikia that will step you through more of the things you can do. Wiki allow for rather complicated formatting. It can look overwhelming when you begin, but don't let it worry you. Just start with the basics... enter some text, and learn the other pieces as you go. Your content contributions are welcome and important. The wiki is a collaborative effort and others can help with formatting and other improvements.
Best wishes!

NPC Overlays are abilities or modifications to an "any race" NPC for a specific race.

NotesEdit

When applying ability score increases from a race, first reduce each ability score by 1 (to a minimum of 10), then apply the racial ability score bonuses.

If a race has proficiency with a skill and the NPC template has proficiency with the same skill, choose an additional skill that seems appropriate for the NPC.

If a race has proficiency with a weapon(s), they usually carry at least one of these.

To find proficiency for an NPC see SRD5: Monster - Proficiency Bonus by Challenge Rating
